At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. It is estimated that one acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.
